The Ear is the first in a new series of podcasts called Body Pods. Each podcast has been made by an artist in collaboration with a scientist, exploring a different part of your body. The Ear has been made by David Rosenberg, co-founder of experimental theatre company Shunt and David McAlpine, Professor of Auditory Neuroscience and Director of the UCL Ear Institute. Body Pods is co-produced by Fuel and Roundhouse, who brought you the Everyday Moments series of podcasts, available as the Guardian Culture Podcast last year, and the UCL Ear Institute.
